However, what has been needed are interchangeable decorative snaps comprising a plurality of snap fasteners, wherein each of the plurality of snap fasteners has a bottom half and an interchangeable top half. What has further been needed is a plurality of decorative covers, wherein each of the plurality of decorative covers is attached to the top half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners. Lastly, what has been needed is for the bottom half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners to be disposed on an article of clothing. The article of clothing can optionally comprise pants, shorts, leggings, shirts, skirts, blazers, sweaters, jackets, head bands, belts, lingerie, hats, gloves, scarves, and shoes. Thus, a user can interchange the top half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners with each other in order to change the appearance of the article of clothing.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to decorative snaps, and more particularly, to interchangeable decorative snaps comprising a plurality of snap fasteners and a plurality of decorative covers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The general purpose of the present interchangeable decorative snaps, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide decorative snaps which have many novel features that result in interchangeable decorative snaps which are not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.
To accomplish this, the present interchangeable decorative snaps comprise a plurality of snap fasteners, wherein each of the plurality of snap fasteners has a bottom half and an interchangeable top half. The bottom half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners and the top half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners have a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners is configured to securely engage with the top half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners. The interchangeable decorative snaps further comprise a plurality of decorative covers, wherein each of the plurality of decorative covers is attached to the top surface of the top half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners. The plurality of decorative covers can optionally be tassels, diamonds, pearls, beads, leather, and lace. The bottom half of each of the plurality of snap fasteners can optionally be disposed on an article of clothing.
The interchangeable decorative snaps can optionally further comprise a pair of pants having an opening disposed on a pant leg. The opening has a top side, a bottom side, a right edge, and a left edge. A plurality of eyelets are continuously disposed on the pant leg proximal the right edge and the left edge. The plurality of snap fasteners further comprises a top snap fastener and a pair of bottom snap fasteners. The pair of bottom snap fasteners has a first snap fastener and a second snap fastener. The bottom half of the top snap fastener is disposed proximal the top of the opening, and the bottom half of the pair of bottom snap fasteners is disposed proximal the bottom of the opening. A pair of strings comprises a first string and a second string. Each of the first string and the second string has a top end and a bottom end. The top end of the first string and the top end of the second string is attached to the top half of the top snap fastener. The bottom end of the first string is attached to the top half of the first snap fastener, and the bottom end of the second string is attached to the top half of the second snap fastener. The pair of strings is configured to be thread through the plurality of eyelets in order to close the opening on the pair of pants.
Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present interchangeable decorative snaps so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, an example of the instant interchangeable decorative snaps employing the principles and concepts of the present interchangeable decorative snaps and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.
Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5, the present interchangeable decorative snaps 10 are illustrated. The interchangeable decorative snaps 10 comprise a plurality of snap fasteners 20, with each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20 having a bottom half 22 and an interchangeable top half 24. The bottom half 22 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20 and the top half 24 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20 have a top surface 26 and a bottom surface 28. The bottom half 22 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20 is configured to securely engage with the top half 24 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20. The interchangeable decorative snaps 10 further comprise a plurality of decorative covers 30, wherein each of the plurality of decorative covers 30 is attached to the top surface 26 of the top half 24 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20. The bottom half 22 of each of the plurality of snap fasteners 20 can optionally be disposed on an article of clothing.
As best shown in FIG. 3, the interchangeable decorative snaps can optionally further comprise a pair of pants 32 having an opening 34 disposed on a pant leg 36. The opening 34 has a top side 36, a bottom side 38, a right edge 40, and a left edge 42. A plurality of eyelets 44 are continuously disposed on the pant leg 36 proximal the right edge 40 and the left edge 42. The plurality of snap fasteners 20 further comprises a top snap fastener 46 and a pair of bottom snap fasteners 48. The pair of bottom snap fasteners has a first snap fastener 50 and a second snap fastener 52. The bottom half 22 of the top snap fastener 46 is disposed proximal the top side 36 of the opening 34, and the bottom half 22 of the pair of bottom snap fasteners 48 is disposed proximal the bottom side 38 of the opening 34. A pair of strings 54 comprises a first string 56 and a second string 58. Each of the first string 56 and the second string 58 has a top end 60 and a bottom end 62. The top end 60 of the first string 56 and the top end 60 of the second string 58 is attached to the top half 24 of the top snap fastener 46. The bottom end 62 of the first string 56 is attached to the top half 24 of the first snap fastener 50, and the bottom end 62 of the second string 58 is attached to the top half 24 of the second snap fastener 52. As best shown in FIG. 3, the pair of strings 54 is configured to be thread through the plurality of eyelets 44 in order to close the opening 34 on the pair of pants 32.
